Michael Franti and Spearhead

(2nd show)

One of the most moving and politically charged writers, Michael Franti and his band Spearhead, return to Australia and New Zealand for a concert tour to celebrate the release of their latest album, All Rebel Rockers.

Californian-born poet, musician and composer, Franti blends hip hop, funk and reggae together with his outspoken political and progressive lyrics and has gone on to become renowned as not only a worldwide million-selling recording artist, but also a leader in the peace and social justice movement. Franti continues to influence people with his speaking engagements at Universities, panels at W.H.O./U.N. in Geneva and his work with organisations such as Oxfam and Amnesty International. Most notably is the international message and expansion of Franti’s own ‘Power to the Peaceful’ festival which has drawn more than 50,000 people for one day to Golden Gate Park in San Francisco annually for the last 9 years.

Historically, Franti has toured non-stop worldwide, from his early days with the Disposable Heroes Of Hiphoprisy supporting U2, followed by his band Spearhead performing with the likes of Ben Harper, The Fugees, Dave Mathews, Cypress Hill, Billy Bragg, Matisyahu and at countless international music festivals such at Glastonbury, V-Fest and Japan’s Fuji Rock., Australia’s East Coast Blues Festival and the Falls Festivals.
